In a shocking – yet unsurprising – move, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recently voted to end universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for newborns. Pediatrician and allergist Dr. Zachary Rubin called it a dark day for our babies and public health. He and Chelsea discuss the very real impacts of this vote, how bad the flu season could get this holiday season, and why allergies are on the rise. Plus, he debunks myths we’ve all fallen for about local honey, vitamin C, and hypoallergenic pets.

The FDA recently announced it will remove the “black box” warning on many hormone replacement therapies for menopause. The warning was initially added after misinterpreted data found an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, and possible dementia. Chelsea speaks with Dr. Heather Hirsch and journalist Tamsen Fadal about whether risks still remain, all the treatment options out there (both hormonal and non-hormonal), and how to know if you’re in menopause or perimenopause.
